Precise analytical results within seconds

You need fast and reliable information about your samples in order to take far-reaching decisions. Whether you are performing analysis for research or quality control our «NIRSolutions™ Laboratory» with dedicated measurement cells delivers precise analytical results for a broad variety of sample types.

What are my commercial benefits of using NIR spectroscopy?

Research and quality control laboratories benefit from NIRS alike. While researchers can accelerate their experimentation, QC departments benefit from the ability to analyze hundreds of samples per day – both saving substantial amounts of time and money.

Why should I consider NIR spectroscopy in my processes?

NIR spectroscopy is a fast non-destructive analytical method. Almost any kind of sample can be scanned within seconds with minimal or even no preparation at all. NIRS can verify the identity of a sample and quantify multiple chemical and physical properties simultaneously.

What are the benefits of BUCHI’s FT-NIR with polarization interferometer?

How does a polarization interferometer work?

The heart of the interferometer consists of two bi-refringing crystal wedges. By moving one wedge, a part of the light undergoes a phase shift. This phase shift alters the polarization of the entire beam. After passing a polarization filter the interferogram is detected. All wavelengths are measured simultaneously.

What is the optimal resolution for an NIR Spectrometer?

For modern instruments 8 cm-1 resolution is optimal for NIR measurement. As NIR spectral bands are relatively broad, higher resolutions do not improve the performance of NIR application. On the contrary, higher resolution spectra have a poorer signal-to-noise ratio within a given measurement time.

Are BUCHI FT-NIR Systems compliant to the international guidelines for electronic records?

Yes, in a regulatory environment all evaluations performed using an NIR spectrometer must be signed by an operator; the necessary operating procedures must be approved according to the ‘four-eye’ principle. Electronic signatures must thus be implemented so that this signing-off procedure can be performed in the application. The BUCHI Software is designed to be compliant to the current guidelines such as: US FDA CFR21 Part 11 or Eudralex Volume 4 Part 11.
